Chapter 342: The Qing Court's Response
Huang Tai sat on the extreme seat, looked around the hall and solemnized the ministers, fixed his eyes on Zilharang, and said lightly: "Prince Zheng, let's talk about the current situation." ”
Zilharang said respectfully: "The slave obeys! ”
Zilharang cleared his throat and said: "The Ming army has crossed the Sancha River and entered the hinterland of my Qing Dynasty, my emperor has made a decision to mobilize the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, the Outer Domains of Mongolia, and Korea, my Qing Dynasty has sent a total of 300,000 troops, even if it is a war of attrition, the Ming army will not be able to consume us!" ”
Prince Zheng Jierharang continued: "At present, our army has 200,000 soldiers and horses in Anshan, Haizhou, Liaoyang, Chang'an Fort, Changding Fort, Changning Fort, Changjing Fort and other forts. ”
Prince Su Haoge said: "Now the Ming army divides its forces to attack Yaozhou and Gaizhou, if they are allowed to break through the eastern front, Fuzhou and Jinzhou will be in danger......."
Jierharang said: "It was the Ningyuan Army and the Mountain Navy that attacked Yaozhou and Gaizhou, not the Tianwu Army, and there were 20,000 Manchu and Han banners stationed there, which could face off with the Ming army head-on." ”
Huang Taiji said lightly: "Our main opponent is the Tianwu Army, and the other Zhenming Army, there is nothing to fear, as long as the Tianwu Army is defeated, the land lost by the Qing Dynasty can be regained again!" ”
He said: "This time the Ming Kingdom has poured all its elite here, this is also a rare opportunity for us, if we can destroy them one by one, in the future, the vast land of the Ming Kingdom, will not let me eight banners?" ”
Everyone nodded again and again when they heard this, and the low mood of the past was also mobilized, and the horse stepped on the Central Plains, which was the grand ambition of all the ancestors of the past dynasties.
Huang Taiji continued: "Now that the Ming Kingdom has divided its troops, there are signs of repeating the battle of Salhu, Emperor Taizu Gao once said, I will only go all the way with a few roads, I only need to defeat the Tianwu army first, and then break them one by one, so that their elite can be wiped out!" ”
Zilharang reminded: "Your Majesty, the Tianwu army has always been cautious in its marching, and our army has been discovered by them several times when they have set up ambushes, but this time they are coming straight forward, and we have to be cautious and careful......."
Listening to Zilharang's words made everyone's faces gloomy, both sides pressed the elite, and if one was not careful, it would be a catastrophe.
Huang Taiji nodded and expressed his satisfaction with Zierharang, who is cautious, calm, and worthy of his trust.
In fact, even Zilharang didn't know that he was so good, he just wanted to be a good minion, the blue flag had the lowest status, and he was not Nurhachi's son, if he didn't perform well, wouldn't he be kicked out of the inner circle?
Dolgon, who has always been silent, said: "Your Majesty, according to the report of the minions' spies in the Ming Kingdom, the grain and grass transported to Liaodong by the Ming State are decreasing every day, and the minions estimate that their logistical grain and grass will not continue. ”
"Lack of food? God bless me so much! ”
"Without food and grass, the Ming army will definitely be discouraged and have to retreat."
After hearing the news, everyone in the hall laughed and laughed very happily.
Huang Taiji looked at Dolgon in a complicated way, Dolgon's ability and strategy were stronger than those present, especially stronger than Hauge, so he had to guard against it.
Dolgon continued: "The Ming army has 200,000 troops in Liaodong, and the silver money consumed every month is at least 600,000 taels of silver. At that time, our Qing soldiers took the opportunity to move and slaughter all the elites of the Ming army! ”
Zilharang said: "Ruibeile doesn't know, and the supply of grain and grass for our army is becoming more and more difficult, and it will be extremely unfavorable for my Qing Dynasty to consume it for a long time. ”
Dolgon smiled indifferently and said: "Then it depends on who consumes whom, our supply line is only a hundred miles, but the Ming army has more than a thousand miles." ”
Huang Taiji pondered for a moment and said, "Fan Wencheng, you contact those eight Jin merchants and let them go all out to buy the grain of the Ming Kingdom, and I am willing to buy it at double the price!" ”
Fan Wencheng immediately stepped forward and said: "The emperor is wise, and the ministers obey the order!" ”
I have to say that Huang Taiji's yin idea is ruthless enough, feeding himself with the enemy's rations, making the enemy hungry, this back and forth, the supply of grain and grass for the Ming army will be more difficult.
There is no supply of food and grass, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are in the Ming army, and no matter how much the Tianwu army can fight, they will not be able to retire obediently?
Subsequently, all the ministers agreed, and they all said that the emperor's tactics were wise and powerful.
Huang Taiji listened indifferently, and a more thorough plan collapsed in his heart.......
At this time, a Baya soldier of Zhenghuang Banner hurriedly came in, saying that the army of the country had arrived and was converging outside the Anshan Post in a steady stream.
There was a commotion in the hall suddenly, and Huang Taiji snorted coldly and said, "It's really pressing step by step!" ”
Everyone immediately went to the city wall, raised their eyes to look out of the city, and saw a sea of red people slowly moving.
Tens of thousands of Tianwu troops marched hand in hand, composed of countless arrays, marching in formation to the beat of marching drums, looking from afar, the flags covered the sun, boundless.
The sound of the heavy footsteps of the march of the army seemed to make the earth move to the rhythm, and it shook people's hearts.
The princes and ministers of the Qing Kingdom all gasped, how could they be so powerful? Do you want to rely on the number of bannermen in the Qing Dynasty?
Especially the tall dragon on the Chinese army's chariot, like standing out from the crowd, is so eye-catching, at a glance, you know that this is the dragon of the prince of the Ming Kingdom.
Huang Taiji's eyes were sharp, he gritted his teeth, and he couldn't wait to turn into Jebe, and an arrow would erode dozens of miles and shoot through the person under the dragon.
Not only Huang Taiji, all the princes and ministers of the Qing Kingdom looked at it intently, they were all shocked and angry, how many Qing warriors were killed by the people under the dragon, and even the descendants of the old Khan were planted a lot, which is really hateful!
.......
In the Tianwu army array, Zhu Cihong held a telescope and looked at Anshan Post Fort, and his heart was also admired, the deployment of the Eight Banners barracks was still so strict, and the fence was erected in winter, and the trench was dug in summer, without slacking off.
Zhu Cihong ordered to camp nearby, far away from Anshan Post Fort.
After the Tianwu army set up camp, Weixiong's camp was amazed by Huang Taiji, such a camp had no loopholes at all, and the defense was extremely tightly deployed, and it was difficult to rob the camp.
The Qing army around Anshan Yibao was very nervous, but the two sides confronted each other for several days, and not even a skirmish occurred.
"No, the Ming army must have some plan!"
The more Huang Taiji thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there any movement in Liaohe?" Will the Ming army cross the Liao River and attack Shengjing? ”
Jierharang said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, there are heavy troops near Changyong Fort, once something happens, we will get the news within a day, the Ming army has no time to attack Shengjing, unless the main force of the Tianwu Army is over there......"
Everyone has seen the ability of the Tianwu Army to cross the river, and the Liao River is a fart in their eyes, and the narrow place is only more than 100 meters, and it will pass after a trip.
Huang Taiji pondered for a moment, still feeling uneasy, he said: "Ji'er Harang, you personally lead the blue flag to guard the Liao River, as long as you encounter the Ming army, report immediately, don't attack without authorization!" ”
"Slaves obey!" Zilharang knelt on the ground, secretly relieved, and finally left the front line!
